Wolves game with Leigh postponed as nine players ruled out through COVID protocols

0

WARRINGTON Wolves have had a second consecutive Betfred Super League fixture postponed under the Covid Fixture Protocols.

The club’s fixture with Leigh Centurions, scheduled for Thursday (July 22) has now been postponed after a further positive COVID-19 test in the camp, today.



Warrington, who have a number of players still unavailable following positive Covid tests which led to the postponement of their last fixture against Hull KR scheduled for July 11, now have a total of nine players ruled out, one of whom is a close contact and therefore also required to isolate.
The Covid Fixture Protocols state that a club can apply for a postponement if they have seven or more of their 25 best-paid players ruled out as a result of Covid-19.
The clubs will now liaise with the RFL about a possible rearrangement of the fixture – although the Betfred Super League table will again be determined by win points percentage to allow for the possibility of not all fixtures being fulfilled.
